Patient Stories: Gordon Sisler

GSisler.jpg

My name is Gordon Sisler. I am 55 years old. I am disabled since birth with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenital. It affects my muscles and my joints. I wear leg braces to walk, along with crutches to assist. I also use a power chair. (Mr. Sisler wears bilateral knee ankle foot orthoses and his clinician is Mark Treasure, CP, BOCO at Dankmeyer’s Western Maryland office in the Cumberland area.)

I have been married for 27 years now to Monica. We met in college. We have two adult daughters, Lydia and Ella.

I have had a successful career in computers. Before I had to retire, I was working at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and have multiple Microsoft Certifications.

I enjoy life to the fullest. I hunt, fish and camp. I developed an adaptive device for a rifle that I had made so that I could hunt. I am a firm believer in Jesus and try to live according.
